The release of a new album by the Revolutionary Ensemble should come as a shock to many. From their start in the 70's they were a mysterious band. They were one of the first string bands to record free jazz. Graceful yet cutting, the album sounds matured in a way that their output from the 70s didn't. Perhaps it is the improved sound quality, or the time & experience that have filled their playing, but somehow the time apart seems to have cemented the group's focus & direction.
